[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Invisible Sense:
Here is the cpr from my Titanium.

Let me know what you would like me to do next?

Thanks
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] jasonkordecki:
I edited the default.plg for the omnia.

<Text ID="Pages" Left="75" Top="4" Width="40" Height="20" FontFamily="Tahoma" FontSize="14" FontStyle="Regular" Wrap="False" VerticalAlignment="Top" Trimming="EllipsisCharacter" Text="6">
<TextStage TextOffsetType="TextOffsetDropBottomRight" Color="#00000000" TextOffset="1" BlurFactor="3" Alpha="1.0" />
<TextStage TextOffsetType="TextOffsetNone" Color="#FFFFFFFF" />
</Text>

All I changed from the qvga layout was FontSize to 14 and Left to 75.

I didn't do landscape because i never use it. Looks good. If requested I'll post a screen shot but don't want to take the time otherwise.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] BoatS:
I believe your Omnia is wqvga. Are there any recommendations for what I'd need to change for a VGA device like the Sprint Diamond? Thanks.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] sn123:
hey BoatS,

sorry haven't had a chance to look into your cpr file yet for the task counter stuff, have been really swamped with my day-job :(. I will take a look into it in a day or two.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] BoatS:
No problem ... it's a big help as is and I appreciate it. Take your time and I'll keep checking. Thanks for the help.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Dishe:
I really really miss having the plain old windows Tasks plugin on my home screen- In fact, I was so annoyed that UI "enhancements" like Manilla left it out that I would go back to stock home/today to get it back. I use it like a to-do list, I write all the things that need to be done, and if something is more important than others it will get a priority status.

I'll be honest, I was very excited to find someone had been working on a Titanium Task plugin... however, I'm finding that this doesn't fit what I'm looking for.

For starters, how many people actually assign dates to tasks? Personally, I use the calendar for stuff like that. My To-Do list are things that I have to get to eventually that don't have any specific timeframe- every day I do as much of it as I can, and whatever is left incomplete goes on to the next day.

Second, I work best when I can view all my tasks in a list to assess which I have time to complete now (and remind me how much more I need to do). Viewing one task at a time is not helpful, in my opinion.

Any chance we can have the option to make this work like the old Windows plugin? IE, display the number of tasks (perhaps also the number of high priority) regardless of due date, and when clicked show the whole list instead of individual tasks?

That would make a TREMENDOUS difference in my workflow, and in the usability of WM as a personal digital assistant! Am I alone in this?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] rrene:
Clicking the panel should bring up the task manager, to see the full list of tasks. Definetely. SK2 could be mapped to bring up taskdetails in panel view for example.

Also it would be great to see the name of the first task in CondensedPage, instead of a simple "tasks" PluginLabel. Imagine something like this in condensed view:

[duedate]: [task]

([n] more - [m] high prio.)

8.6.09: Buy sn123 some beer

(3 more - 1 high prio.)

IMO: The advantage of Titanium panels is, to label those panels with the infos also in condensed view. Just like CClock, TitaniumWeather for example.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] elsom25:
Hey, I used sn123 cab, and the app half loads (as in it shows up, and i can make new task, but that is all). When the app first installed i got an error, but longer have a copy of it, sorry.

Any ideas, or anything I should do / can do, to help?

Thanks!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] charge1313:
Seconded.

Also, it would be great if we could get the plugin to display, say, just high priority tasks or tasks in the order of priority (instead of the current alphabetical order).

Is there any easy way to do this? i.e. without forcing sn123 to make a new version with these features?

Essentially, the features I would love are:

1) If the plugin displayed the number of tasks (broken down by high priority, overdue, due today and total like the default wm6 plug-in) displayed in the condensed view

2) The ability to filter what tasks are displayed (or the order of display) in the expanded view.

3) If the default expanded view were the one which led to the full tasks app. Currently it leads to the first task and you have to slide left twice to get to that screen....

That would really be great

Thanks for making titanium bearable sn123 :)

@Dishe: You using GTD or a variant?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Pretenderr:
Hey

On your second screenshot you can see a 7 next to Tasks.

How can I get it to display the number of tasks? It doesn't show on mine 0.5b?

Or am I doing something wrong?

Regards

David
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] p-slim:
that is for qvga devices only :(
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] BoatS:
sn123 ... I hate to be a pain but any progress on VGA support. If you can point me where to play around, I can try but I'm not a programmer.

If you're busy ... no problem. Thanks.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Nuno Oliveira:
I keep getting an error on PluginInstaller.exe after runing taskaniuminstall. The plugin appears on screen, but won't scrool the tasks...
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] mac_es:
I have a problem installaing 0.5:

I'm on 21812 (own cooked rom), 0C0A locale, QVGA

I have edited the links to Archivos de programa\Taskanium\...

If I execute plugininstaller, it doesn't show any error. The layout is added to titanium's cpr file, I got the registry entries for the xml

I don't get any link into stratup folder, I have created one to titanium.exe no diff...

It doesn't show any line in the screen, what I think is that is missing the registry keys under HKLM\Software\Microsoft\CHOME

What it is exactly doing PluginInstaller? Is this only 0409?

Thanks in advance
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] mac_es:
Hello,

The problem was NetCF 3.7, it doens't work. What I haven't got is the startup link. could someone post the link in \windows\startup? I wan't to know if there is a parameter in the link or not.

Thanks
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] sn123:
hi,

sorry for doing the vanishing act but have been not well for last week (terrible throat infection :(). Anyway, here's what you need to do to display the "Pages" counter for your resolution (I'll assume it is 640_480):

1) backup your CPR file (just in case something goes wrong).

2) Open the default.plg file within the taskanium folder in a text editor and search for the text "Pages" (without the quotes).

3) Copy the entire node:

4) Now, open the cpr file within the windows folder (of which you already have a backup) and search for the text "TaskaniumCondensed" (everything is case sensitive).

5) You should find something like: <Layer ID="TaskaniumCondensed".....

6) Within this there would be something like <Layer ID="Page"> and within the "Page" layer, there would be something like <Text ID="PluginLabel"................</Text>

7) Do note that the <Text ID="PluginLabel"...> should end with a </Text> after some lines.

8) Paste the entire <Text ID="Pages".. </Text> that you had copied in step 3.

9) Save the cpr file.

10) Execute CHomeRefresh.exe within the Taskanium folder, this will ensure that hte changes to the cpr file are reloaded.

11) If everything went fine and you do have an active task(s), you should see the task counter.

12) If the task counter overlaps with the "tasks" text or is too far to the right, you might have to set the "Left" attribute to something greater/lesser than 65 (<Text ID="Pages" Left="65" ...

HTH & Good luck!

PS: I assumed that you have some familiarity with editing xml files as xml format is a little finicky and little screw up can blow up your entire titanium plugin :) (well, that's why the backup)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] sn123:
If you can give more details on the error that you get, perhaps someone can help
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] sn123:
You can just copy over the taskanium.lnk file from the installed folder to the startup folder (which is what the TaskaniumInstaller internally do). It doesn't have any parameter btw.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] sn123:
dupe post mods please delete
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] BoatS:
sn123, thanks for the help and I hope you're feeling better.

Actually, the Sprint Diamond is 480X640 in portrait. I went ahead and now the panel doesn't show up. It's there and if I press the blank panel area, I can scroll through the tasks. I'm not sure what to adjust and I did make a backup. Any additional advise will be appreciated and I'll give it a try.

Thanks again for the help.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] sn123:
Can you attach your modified cpr?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] BoatS:
Here you go. Thanks.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] mac_es:
Hi sn123,

May I ask why taskannium is permanently in memory? It is taking around 500Kb and in trinity we only have 64MB so every byte is important...

As you hook to any change of tasks keys, could it be possible not to keep resident all the time?

Thnks
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] rargamob:
Where do we paste the new text

Do we replace the text in the taskaniumcondensed part of the cpr file, or do we just insert it after?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] sn123:
you insert it after, take a look at the 240X320 layout defined in the default.plg for reference.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] sn123:
ouch! sorry wasn't clear enough you have replaced the "PluginLabel" node wiht the "Pages" node, the "Pages" node should be inserted after the "PluginLabel", something like this (do note this is just an example from the QVGA layout and can't be used directly as is):
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] sn123:
I actually ran into some issues with the State & Notification Broker and that's why decided to add this to the startup folder. Once, I figure out the problems with the SNB (it was taking a lot of resident memory & wasn't notifying me on any status updates of recurring tasks), I will look at how to exit the app based on some inactivity period.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] BoatS:
OK ... I have it now. I had to adjust things to:

Left - 150, Top 15 and font - 8. The font at 10.5 cut off the bottom of the due tasks count number. The 8 is a little small but readable.

I appreciate your time in helping me out. Thanks for all your help.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] BoatS:
I made some additional edits to increase the font without it cutting off:

Width - 60

Height - 40

Font - 10.5

These seem to work pretty well for Sprint Diamond VGA (480x640).

Thanks again.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] rargamob:
No luck on Touch Pro

BoatS (or anyone who can help):

Could you post a copy of the CPR file (just the taskanium part) you have that works for your diamond. Ive slowly been making the "tasks" appear and disappear, and sometimes I just get "ta" with half of an a. Still havent been able to produce any sort of counter.

Thanks to everyone
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] BoatS:
Here you go. I hope it works for you.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] mac_es:
Ok, great!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] rargamob:
BoatS and sn123,

I appreciate all the help, but still no luck. No idea why.

Thanks anyway.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] BoatS:
Humm ... if you have a Sprint Diamond I would think this should work for you as well. I'm no expert but if you attach your CPR file, I can take a look and see what happens on mine.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] rargamob:
Thanks, but I figured it out. I was probably doing it right all along, just the fact that, while I had plenty of tasks, none of them were "active", as in they werent due that day, or yesterday and the day before as the case was. I reread the beginning of the thread, and realized that the counter displays only the count of the tasks due today.

First try today and it was working in portrait and landscape. Cause I have things due today, of course.

Thanks for your help, again.

Rock over London, Rock on Chicago.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] BoatS:
Glad it worked.

Hey sn123, it would be great if the counter counted both current and past due tasks. If I saw the counter, it would cause me to take a look.

Thanks.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] GrandAdmiral:
I just downloaded and installed version 0.5 and i am getting this exact error on clicking the TaskaniumInstaller on my AT&T 8525. Any idea what I could be doing? My regional settings are set for English (U.S.) so I'm not sure what could be the issue.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] sn123:
looks like your .net CF installation was done using US culture (date format MM/dd/yy) but the system date format is set to something different (like dd/mm/yy). Now either you can a) Reinstall .net cf with correct culture or (b) Change the system date format to MM/dd/yy.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] BoatS:
When I had this problem it had to do with the date formatting. My region had been English - Canadian and the problem went away when I changed to English - US. If it's not that the problem then I'm not sure. You might want to check the date format tab. Mine's set to (short) M/d/yy and (long) dddd, MMMM dd, y.

Good luck.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] TrueTenacity:
ok, that explains why my taskanium won't install... date format issues...

Could we bug the author to create a version of this app that will run irrespective of the date format...
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] chaicl:
Mine installed fine but for the tasks that have no dates set, it displays non-sensical date...

Let's see if there is a later version or we can start coind gone ourself :-)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] andrsd:
Hi!

Thanks for creating this plugin, I really missed that one on my WM6.5 device.

Please find attached an improved icon. Resized to 86x114, add a fading shadow (like the other icons have). Feel free to use it.

One feature request (dunno if some one already requested that): Could the SK1 show Tasks instead of Contacts and also started tasks :)? Thanks for considering this thing.

One more thing. I tried to get the number of tasks to the condensed view (like on one of the screenshots) usign this hint (http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=3980242&postcount=120), but I did not work for me - no number displayed. Some one posted here, that it works only for QVGA, but I dunno why. My device is Touch HD (WVGA) and I properly changed my Titanium_480x800.cpr file.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] BoatS:
Thanks for the icon - I'll give it a try.

sn123 explains how to create the counter for due tasks in post 120. Post 135 has an example of my settings for VGA that work pretty well. For WVGA you probably need to adjust the "left" setting from 140 to something greater.

I agree with your request for SK1 - there are a lot of ways to get to contacts and opening Tasks would be great. Another request would be if the counter showed both due and past due tasks. In either case, it would be nice to see the indicator.

This is a great plugin and is very useful to me. Thanks sn123.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] andrsd:
I tried a similar code, but it did not work for me. The reason was, I had no due task active. All my tasks were due in the future and I kind of (wrongly) expected it will show the number of all tasks that the plugin is displaying. My mistake. So everything is all right. Thanks for your help. One note: the VGA code you posted needs no adjusting, it just work on WVGA too.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] sn123:
hey andrsd, thanks for the nice icon and thanks boatS for regularly helping out people in getting this plugin up & running.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Omega Ra:
okay, I can't get this to install. I unzipped it to a \program files\taskanium which I made and ran the taskanium installer and the atpluginginstaller and the plugininstaller....nothing seems to work. I ran the uninstaller but I still get an error message when I reboot saying taskanium can't run because of certificate or whatever...how do I get this to work???? can comeone please .cab this.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] BoatS:
If your device is VGA there's a CAB in post 95.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] blazingwolf:
He has a WQVGA device.

I have seen a couple of other complaints like this also on other forums. I encountered it once on my device and it was an error with ATPluginstaller. exe. A soft reset fixed it for me but has not done so for Omega.

So further ideas and conversation would be helpful. :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Omega Ra:
yes. And even though the panel isn't there (neither in remove programs or Chome editor) I still get an error message when I soft reset saying it can't run becuase of resourses aren't there or unsigned cert or something... but I have even run the uninstaller and still get this issue.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] blazingwolf:
Well, that is easy to explain. Since the file failed to install correctly the items that did install are still there causing issues. Also, since the install failed the uninstaller can't remove things because it doesn't have the needed files.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Omega Ra:
so how do I get it to install properly?? I have tried running the installer again...nada...I get a bing noise, but nothing is there when I go to activate the panel in chome.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Omega Ra:
okay, so I got the error to stop popping up on reset, there was a taskanium link in startup...but I run the Taskaniuminstaller again and get a bing but nothing is there...which install do I run? there are like 3 in there.

EDIT: got it to work. Problem was I created a \Program Files\Taskanium folder then extracted to that....turn out I just needed to extract it to \Program Files.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] snowcraig:
I have gotten this to install. It shows up on my main screen, but does not display any of my tasks, and when I click on it it just takes me to the add task screen. Any way to get it to at least display the list of active tasks when I click on it?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Omega Ra:
the only thing about this that I would add is a button to bring me directly to my full list of tasks. Like when I first open the tasks through windows...it shows completed and not completed tasks. Other than that this is great.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] baeza:
Please, try to use default task application instead of fixed poutlook, if possible. Other task managers (TodayAgenda, fi) allow this. :D
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] VeFar:
Can you make a CHS version ,sent a message to you
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] sn123:
I haven't really looked at localizing the plugin till date, if there is enough interest I can give it a shot. Also, I have heard a lot of people ask about the default date that taskanium displays in case a task doesn't have any due date assigned (1 Jan 4051); I have already replied to this "bug" in post#30 http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=3796626&postcount=30, again this "bug" is very enough to fix but I've been just plain lazy and a little busy off-late.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] sn123:
I read somewhere on xda-developers that it is possible to assign a program to the left soft-key from a plugin; perhaps we can use the left soft key to open the task app.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Omega Ra:
that would be nice :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] hgage2003:
Great app, thanks.

Can you please make the tasks without time, if they wasn't planned with time?

Every my task is marked with 01 Jan 4501 :)

Btw, I made this 0.5 in a cab, you can add it to first post, if you like:
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] VeFar:
if due date is null ,can you make it show this year
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] mrnamster:
hgage cab: installation unsuccessful

zip file: works

jdm cab: works but soft reset prompt freezes autorun (need to enable/disable hide and lock functions to get past the prompt)

Great plugin!

Cheers
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] hgage2003:
Thanks for pointing this out... Fixed.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ionfist:
Hey there,

I don't know if this a known bug, however, when I assign two or more tasks on the same date, then only the first one appears to display the correct date, all the other show 1-jan-4501, I think its showing the first day of the year.

Thanks in advance

EDIT: the year shown is 4501 not 2009 sorry
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] sn123:
This doesn't happen on my device, can any one else repro?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] dgen:
awesome plugin!

This plugin works like a charm with wvga screens :D

imo one of the most useful plugins around for titanium :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ionfist:
I have found what is the cause of the problem. If i don' set the "Starts" field of the task then the date in the plugin is not displayed correctly, even if there is a reminder set. It seams that the plugin reads the "Starts" field and not the reminder field.

Wouldn't be better if the plugin would display the reminder date and time rather the starts date only?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] jadesdan:
Hey, sorry if this has been answered before, I searched by did not find what I was looking for.

I finally got Taskanium to work on my Vogue, usuing the cab found in Codybear's FAQ. The only thing I can't figure out is how to show the number of active tasks in the collapsed view. Any help there?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] baeza:
Translations ...

To sn123,

I am trying to translate your app into spanish but it will be much more easy if you use a Mortscript file instead of an EXE file. Moreover, some hints, like using left softkey for 'All tasks' or other improvements could be done by the community saving you a lot of time :D
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] jadesdan:
Okay. SO I uninstalled 0.5 and installed 0.4b_qvga. The task counter is beautiful! Thanks!

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Cascade2:
Do any of these versions work with 320x320 square screens?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] :
The plug in looks very useful, unfortunately it doesn't work for me :(

After installing the Taskanium0.5.cab I get an error message - "unexpected error in PluginInstaller.exe:

System.IO.__Error.WinIOError(Int32errorCXode, String str) in System.IO.File.InternalCopy(String sourceFileName, String destFileName, Boolean overwirite) in PluginInstaller.Program.Main(String[]args)

Anyway after restarting the device the Plug In appears in titanium, but it doesn't show me any tasks. I am only able to create tasks :(

I am using the latest german udk rom on a o2 XDA Diamond 2.

Where is my mistake? :(
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] :
Couldn't find the problem till now - but I thing it has something to do with the localization, as I am using a German version.

Someone else any idea?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] BoatS:
You might want to check the date format tab. I had problems and had to set mine to (short) M/d/yy and (long) dddd, MMMM dd, y.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] claus1953:
You can use the QVGA version, for layout esthetic reasons maybe you will have to move a bit text and picture in the Titanium_320x320.cpr, and change the plugin size from 240 to 320.
[Touch HD General] genesicgaogaiga:
I just flashed the HJG official 1.57 rom to my HD. The audio stutter no longer appears but funny thing occurs. During incoming, no contact photo appears, but it does in out going call. Anybody got the similar problem? P.s. I also installed Pocket informant 8.
